city homes that compliment the community’s changing lifestyle and evolving needs. The success of Stage 1 sales has reaffirmed Townsville’s demand for inner-city homes, where lifestyle meets location. Designed to fill the void in the Townsville market, Ellis Developments is proud to release the highly anticipated Stage 2 to the public along with many new and exciting designs to choose from.
The level of vision in planning is rarely seen and when combined with a very high level of built form, Haven is poised to become Townsville’s premier new address. The market has already responded positively and the popularity of Stage 1 indicates Stage 2 will not be available for long.

Lifestyle Haven residents are spoilt for choice when it comes to parklands and lifestyle facilities. Despite being close to major conveniences and amenities, Haven’s enviable location means that nature is also on the doorstep. When you visit the Haven neighbourhood, you immediately take in the grandeur of Castle Hill. In fact, every Haven home will enjoy Castle Hill views with some of Castle Hill’s best tracks starting within walking distance. Located within 200 meters of your Haven home, you will also find three of Townsville’s most beautiful parklands: Cutheringa Park, Melrose Park, and Harold Phillips Park. Wonderfully maintained by the Townsville City Council, each park has spacious lawns, large shady trees, off-leash dog area, and a variety of recreation facilities for you to use. You’ll also discover direct access from Haven to a quiet wilderness corridor meandering along Mundy Creek. This corridor links with the Belgian Gardens bike path that continues along the creek, delivering you straight to Rowes Bay, by the sea. From there, turn left to Pallarenda or turn right to Jezzine Park, Kissing Point, and The Strand. A leisurely stroll, a quick jog, or an even quicker ride and you have access to Townsville’s prime centre of activity. Literally, lifestyle on your doorstep.

Team “Our growth has been sustainable and well managed. As such we are able to utilise buying power that is at the top of the tiers. Passing this value onto clients has been our road to success.” After recognising a missing link in Townsville house and land options, successful long-term property investor Stephen Ellis of Ellis Developments decided to do something about it. Stephen aimed to create high quality home-and-land packages, bringing modern designs to the increasingly discerning Townsville market. Large investments in Townsville are already being made by the private sectors along with both the State and Federal governments. The redeveloped Townsville city centre, the green-lit new Stadium, huge financial incentives, and a recently streamlined planning approval process have seen rapidly growing interest in city living. Savvy Townsville locals are also recognising there is more to life than mowing a quarter-acre of grass every weekend. State Government opened up ‘The Village’ 3.5km south of the Townsville CBD in 2013, testing the market with average lot sizes of around 300sqm. This opportunity was highly successful and quickly snapped up by locals. Ellis Developments also entered the urban housing market in 2013, building our own small-lot development, Hampton Court, consisting of eight houses with average lot sizes of 220sqm. Hampton Court was a Housing Industry Association (HIA) award winner and both Ellis Developments and Townsville lifestyle buyers have not looked back. Since coming to market offering supremely finished modern designs, Ellis Developments has won multiple awards and built a reputation for delivering

quality homes, with an amazing client experience from start to finish. As demand for our homes grows, so too does our team. We use local architects, designers, project managers, and landscape specialists to ensure we continue to contribute to the local economy, and exceed construction expectations for building in the tropics. Our growth has been sustainable and well managed. This road to success has enabled Ellis Developments to utilise top tear buying power and pass that value onto clients.
